GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON ROLLING STOCK FOR METRO RAILWAYS NOVEMBER 2013 2 Preface 1. Metro systems are already operational in Delhi and Bangalore and construction work is progressing at a fast pace in Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi and Gurgaon. There are plans to have Metro Systems in cities with population more than 2 million. MOUD with a view to promote the domestic manufacturing for Metro Systems and formation of standards for such systems in India, has constituted a Group for preparing a Base paper on Standardization and Indigenization of Metro Railway Systems vide Order of F.No.K- 14011/26/2012 MRTS/Coord dated 30th May 2012. 2. The Group has identified certain issues which require detailed deliberations / review cost benefit analysis / study. The Group suggested that Sub-Committees may be constituted consisting of officers/professional drawn from relevant field/ profession from Ministry of Urban Development/Railways/Metros and industries associated with rail based systems / Metro Railway Systems. 3.

Permissible Daily Noise exposure levels prescribed by US Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organisation(WHO) “The Ancient Monuments and Archaelogical Sites and Remains (Amendment and Validation) Act 2010”. Regulations regarding protection of ASI monuments (Heritage structures) from vibrations generated by metro train operations. Committee also considered following studies on Noise and Vibrations emanating from Metro Systems: Study of Noise assessment inside the Greater Cairo Underground Metro - By Mostafa E Aly and Noise Athens Metro Extension Project to Piraeus Ground borne Noise and Vibration Assessment and Control RIVAS Railway Induced Vibration Abatement Solutions Collaborative project State of the art review of mitigation measures on track Project Coordinator: Bernd Asmussen International Union of Railways (UIC) Interim guidelines for Assessment of noise from Tail infrastructure projects- Published by Department of Environment and Climate Change NSW 59–61 Goulburn Street, Sydney Delhi Metro Report on Train Noise Level Study by Rupert Taylor Noise impact assessment of mass rapid transit systems in Delhi City – Naveen Garg, Omkar Sharma and S Maji. Acoustics, Ultrasonics, Shock and Vibration Standard, National Physical Laboratory(CSIR) New Delhi 110012 DMRC Train Noise Level Study RS1 by GC – Report dated 7.06.2005 METRO RAILWAY NOISE AND VIBRATION - Causes and solutions for DMRC Phase III 9 Environmental Noise is recognized as a major Health problem. Noise exposure is a function of two main factors: (1) The frequency-weighted exposure level, measured in A-weighted decibels (dBA) (2) The exposure duration US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1974 and World Health Organization(WHO) recommends LAeq of 75 dB(A) during day time and 70 dB(A) during night time for Industrial areas as permissible noise levels. For Commuters in the Metro and at Stations also this can be considered as the upper limit and needs to be maintained. A weighted LAeq is considered to be most suitable for predicting general annoyance and most of disturbance reactions observed. Indian Noise legislation does not permit the increase in ambient noise level by 10 dB(A) due to project noise(Noise generated by Metro operations. As per WHO and EPA Chronic exposures to 80.3 dBA for more than 160 minutes per day may be expected to produce hearing loss in some exposed individuals, and a 90.2-dBA level likewise may cause hearing loss with just 18 minutes of exposure per day. Though most of the Metros specify measurement of internal coach noise LAeq as per ISO 3381:2011 and measurement of external noise as per ISO 3095:2010 American Public Transit Association (APTA) specifies maximum pass by airborne noise from train operationsLAmax at 85 dBA.
